In accordance with government policy (PPW 9), the assessment draws together the available archaeological, historic, topographic and land-use information in order to clarify the heritage significance and archaeological potential of the study site. The assessment has established that there are no designated archaeological assets on the study site. The only designated assets within the surrounding 1km study area there are five Grade II Listed Buildings, all of which are screened from the study site by intervening topography, vegetation and buildings. Consequently, there will be no impact on the designated assets or their settings and significance. The assessment has also established that there is one non-designated archaeological asset recorded in the HER within the study site boundary and one located on the north-west boundary, both dating to the Post-Medieval and Modern periods. These include a marl pit on the west side of the study site and a military aircraft crash site that may straddle the boundary of the study site. The crash site, under the Protection of Military Remains Act (PMRA) of 1986, cannot be excavated or remains removed without a license from the Central Casualty Section, a part of the Royal Air Force Personnel Management Agency (PMA). However, if human remains are suspected then it would be classed as a War Grave and an exclusion zone would be required in any proposed development. Any evidence discovered relating to these non- designated archaeological assets would be considered to be of local/regional interest. However, both assets lie within areas that are not proposed for development according to the Illustrative Concept Layout (Randall Thorpe drawing ref 661B-04 A) and, therefore, will not be impacted by the development. This assessment has also considered the potential for as-yet to be discovered archaeological assets within the site. It concludes that, on the basis of the archaeological evidence from the search area, the site has a low/negligible potential for significant remains of all periods. The assessment has therefore shown that there are no heritage or archaeological constraints to the deliverability of the study site. In light of the above, it is recommended that an initial geophysical survey is undertaken to confirm the presence/absence of remains associated with the crash site and any other potential features of archaeological interest. This would inform the need for a scope of further archaeological work; this programme of iterative work can be secured by an appropriately worded planning condition. © CgMs Ltd 3 EM/23755/01 Heritage Assessment Land south of Holt Road, Wrexham 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF STUDY 1.1 This Heritage Assessment of land south of Holt Road, Wrexham has been researched and prepared by CgMs Heritage on behalf of Barratt Homes and Bloor Homes North West. 1.2 The site, also referred to as the study site, comprises approximately 28.52ha of land proposed for residential development, centred at National Grid Reference SJ 3619 5151 (Figure 1). The site is located to the north-east of the town of Wrexham between the A534 Holt Road to the north and Bryn Estyn Road to the south. Modern residential development bounds the majority of the west side of the study site, with Tyn-twll Farm on the north-west side. To the east the study site is bound by Hanson Concrete works and fields. 1.3 This assessment has been prepared in compliance with Planning Policy Wales ((PPW) edition 9) and the Technical Advice Note (TAN) 24, to identify and provide a description of the significance of heritage assets on the site and the likely effects of development on that significance. 1.4 The assessment incorporates published and unpublished material, and charts historic land-use through a map regression exercise. A site inspection was undertaken in October 2017. 1.5 As a result, the assessment enables relevant parties to assess the significance of heritage assets on and close to the site and to consider the potential for hitherto undiscovered archaeological assets, thus enabling potential impacts on assets to be identified along with the need for any design, civil engineering or archaeological solutions. © CgMs Ltd 4 EM/23755/01 Heritage Assessment Land south of Holt Road, Wrexham 2.0 PLANNING BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN FRAMEWORK 2.1 Statutory Framework i) Ancient Monuments & Archaeological Areas Act 1979 The Ancient Monuments & Archaeological Areas Act 1979 (as amended) protects the fabric of Scheduled Monuments, but does not afford statutory protection to their settings. Relevant policies relating to the protection of the setting of scheduled monuments are contained within national and local development plan policy. ii) Protection of Military Remains Act (PRMA) 1986 All crashed British aircraft in the UK or its coastal waters are deemed Crown property, all Luftwaffe crash sites are considered captured property surrendered to the Crown, and for US aircraft the MoD acts as the representative of the US Government. Under the PRMA anyone wishing to excavate or recover a military aircraft is first required to apply for a licence from the Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC). The aim is to protect potential excavators from the risks of possible surviving live ordnance, as well as the moral obligation to the families of the dead servicemen not able to be recovered at the time of the crash to protect their relatives’ remain from disturbance. iii) Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 This Act places duties on public bodies requiring them to act in accordance with the ‘sustainable development principle’. The Act also establishes well-being goals which include achieving ‘a Wales of vibrant culture and Welsh language’, described as ‘a society that promotes and protects culture, heritage and the Welsh language’. The Act lays down the principle that a properly protected, conserved and enhanced historic environment can improve the quality of life and well-being for everyone. iv) Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016 The Historic Environment (Wales) Act was given Royal Assent in March 2016. This Act provides the legislative framework for managing the historic environment in Wales. Accompanying the Act will be new policy and guidance in the form of a Technical Advice Note (TAN) specific to the Historic Environment (see below), and changes to Planning Policy Wales (PPW) Chapter 6 – Conserving the Historic Environment. While the changes to PPW have been made, the new TAN 24 and other guidance is still the subject of consultation. 2.2 Planning Policy Wales 2.2.1 The Welsh Government has published Planning Policy Wales (PPW), currently updated to Version 9 from November 2016 (PPW9). This sets out the land use planning policies © CgMs Ltd 5 EM/23755/01 Heritage Assessment Land south of Holt Road, Wrexham of the Welsh Government. It is supplemented by a series of Technical Advice Notes (TANs). Procedural advice is given in circulars and policy clarification letters.

  • MACRON WREXHAM JUNIOR LEAGUE Summary by Phil Jones
    MACRON WREXHAM JUNIOR LEAGUE Summary by Phil Jones Saturday 7th March 2020 There was a massive surprise in store for the runaway league leaders in the Under 12 Green Division and title favourites Rhosddu were beaten fairly and squarely 4-2 by Chirk Youth to end their 14 match unbeaten run.

  • Town Tree Cover in Wrexham County Borough
    1 Town Tree Cover in Wrexham County Borough Understanding canopy cover to better plan and manage our urban trees 2 Foreword Introducing a world-first for Wales is a great pleasure, particularly as it relates to greater knowledge about the hugely valuable woodland and tree resource in our towns and cities. We are the first country in the world to have undertaken a country-wide urban canopy cover survey. The resulting evidence base set out in this supplementary county specific study for Wrexham County Borough will help all of us - from community tree interest groups to urban planners and decision-makers in local authorities Emyr Roberts Diane McCrea and our national government - to understand what we need to do to safeguard this powerful and versatile natural asset. Trees are an essential component of our urban ecosystems, delivering a range of services to help sustain life, promote well-being, and support economic benefits. They make our towns and cities more attractive to live in - encouraging inward investment, improving the energy efficiency of buildings – as well as removing air borne pollutants and connecting people with nature. They can also mitigate the extremes of climate change, helping to reduce storm water run-off and the urban heat island. Natural Resources Wales is committed to working with colleagues in the Welsh Government and in public, third and private sector organisations throughout Wales, to build on this work and promote a strategic approach to managing our existing urban trees, and to planting more where they will

  • Wrexham County Borough Council Election Results 1995-2012
    Wrexham County Borough Council Election Results 1995-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

The number of pages has varied from initially just 6, occasio- nally to up to 60 (a few issues in c.2004). Typically 44, recent journals have been 48. There appear to have been three versions of the ARG index/ table of contents produced for the magazine since its conception. The first was that by David Hall c.1986, which was a very detailed publication and was extensively cross-referenced. For example if an article contained the sentence, ‘The squadron’s flights were temporarily located at Tangmere and Kenley’, then both sites would appear in the index. It also included titles of ‘Books Reviewed’ etc Since then the list has been considerably simplified with only article headings noted. I suspect that to create a current cross-reference list would take around a day per magazine which equates to around eight months work and is clearly impractical. The second version was then created in December 2009 by Richard Flagg with help from Peter Howarth, Bill Taylor, Ray Towler and myself.

It is also responsible for some functions previously undertaken by Welsh Government. Our purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, used and enhanced, now and in the future. We work for the communities of Wales to protect people and their homes as much as possible from environmental incidents like flooding and pollution. We provide opportunities for people to learn, use and benefit from Wales' natural resources. We work to support Wales' economy by enabling the sustainable use of natural resources to support jobs and enterprise. We help businesses and developers to understand and consider environmental limits when they make important decisions. We work to maintain and improve the quality of the environment for everyone and we work towards making the environment and our natural resources more resilient to climate change and other pressures. Evidence at Natural Resources Wales Natural Resources Wales is an evidence based organisation. We seek to ensure that our strategy, decisions, operations and advice to Welsh Government and others are underpinned by sound and quality-assured evidence. We recognise that it is critically important to have a good understanding of our changing environment.

  • Appendix 2 - Representations
    Appendix 2 - Representations DOR REF RESPONSE DOR02001 Please protect our green belt DOR02002 There are lots of empty spaces that are not green belt and there must be ways to avoid losing green belt. All the brownfield spaces in Wirral should be shown as part of the consultation. I am particularly concerned about Column Fields. - Column Fields are a part of the very precious area from Caldy Hill/Stapledon Wood to Thurstaston Hill/Royden Park. - To destroy Column Fields would be a disaster as Caldy Hill/Stapledon Woods would become an "island" surrounded by houses with negative impact on the whole area and in particular on Stapledon Woods. - The views from Thurstaston to Caldy Hill and vice versa should not be blighted by and estate on Column Fields. The area from Caldy Hill to Thurstaston Hill, including Column Fields, is an iconic area, and a priceless asset to all Wirralians and the many visitors from outside Wirral. - There would be an adverse impact on wildlife and the environment, over the whole area. -opposite Column Fields there is a wildlife pond that is home to many birds/ducks/geese that migrate every year to this area. The loss of Column Fields would have a significant negative impact. - The traffic on Column Road and Caldy Road is already at high levels (dangerous levels in Caldy Road which is narrow and winding) and a further increase in traffic would affect the whole area. DOR02003 This plan encourages the unrestricted sprawl of the large built up areas in Wirral to encroach into the precious and small green belt areas we possess.
